The file above is not needed (that is an example of usage of the
module) -- just the command line you wrote is enough:

  python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

Or for Python 3, even better, binding only to localhost:

  python -m http.server 8000 --bind 127.0.0.1

Not that I agree with something like the Boost docs requiring a
server, but it is even easier to set up one :)

My 2 cents,
Miguel
